Michaela Thompson is an incredible athlete and human being. With her 3rd place finish at Leadville a few weeks ago, she put herself on the map and is going to start marking her territory. And at only 22 years old, the cycling world better watch out, because she's got an exciting career ahead.

In our conversation, we talk about Michaela's background in cycling and racing, her early success as a Jr., her experience at Leadville, and the importance of approaching racing and life with curiosity and appreciation for the opportunity.

The Uphill Goat is back! I had this conversation with Danny back in January, and I'm super excited for all of you to be able to enjoy it now.

Danny is a professional marathon mountain bike racer, racing the UCI marathon World Cup circuit in Europe along with other big one-day races.

In this episode, we dive into his journey of racing from a teenager at the National Championships with Keegan Swenson to his current goals and hopes as he balances being a husband, and father, working full time, and racing professionally.

Danny is super impressive on the bike and an even more impressive person. I loved chatting with him and learned a lot about discipline, grit, and following your dreams from our conversation. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
